 ful lessons and delightful experiences also endless hardships and discourage- ments which they learned to bear triumphantly. Now as the curtain rolls slowly back the Class of ‘20 is looking cheerfully and with courage into their future, remembering the encouraging words, “Climb Though the Hocks be Rugged.” We’ll climb, though the rocks be rugged, We’ve climbed a little way, And gathered flowers of learning, To crown this happy day; But now our paths look rugged, And very steep and long; Well have to be so careful To keep from turning wrong. But birds will sing about us, The zephyrs gently blow; The sun will shine in splendor, To show us where to go; So, gating ever upward, We’ll press on all the time, And though I lie rocks he rugged. We’ll climb and climb and climb! B. B. J O6QG0 £ 0 1 I • O V § g g V . V V g g V § 0 1 v a g i V 1 PACE TWENTY-EICHT

Gladys Merica Mary Holland The (Mass of 26. of Bath District High School, entered on its journey up ihe steep cliffs of learning with live and forty seekers of knowledge in the year of two and twenty, the ninth month and fourteenth day of the month. Some come up from the eighth grade and some came from farms and others from different counties. The fourteenth day of September was an Autumnal day radiant with the sunshine of hope, cheer and joyous promise, when the Class of ‘20 assem- bled to take up its long journey. They were greeted hilariously by a hand of wild beings called Sophomores, who were ahead some iirtle distance, hut. celebrated the occasion by rolling huge rocks in the road whenever their wild instinct possessed them. The Juniors also celebrated bv .veils and staring looks from above, which hurt the pride of the Class of 26 very much and made them feel that they were yet very yonnd indeed The Seniors stood so high upon the rocks of great wisdom that they ap- peared as a guiding star of light to the Class of 26 and caused its members to look upon them dreamily, with great admiration and wonder. The Class was favored by having a very kind and patient guide, who honied them through the diiliculties and protected them from the many fall- ing stones from above. The Class survived its winter journey most success- fully except from getting cold feet by steping too far into Latin and History a:ml being obliged to remain behind for some little time. Spring found the Class of ‘26 safe at Sophomore’s cliff, where they re- mained during the very warm months of summer. But when upon resuming iheir journey they were likewise overcome by a wild desire to avenge them- selves upon the new journeymen and so it was done, and most horribly in basket ball. The next year found the Class of ‘26 two long journeys from the last cliff, she peak of great wisdom. During this journey the Class lost several of its members, due to iho contraction of matrimony, also one became very weary of the journey and had us farwell. but his memory still lingers. Mho Class hegain its last journey finding the rocks more difficult to climb, hut was strengthened again by the words of its faithful leader who said, ‘•(’limb Though the Rocks Be Rugged.” so with new courage they continued to climb. The Class had a very eventful journey, having had many wonder- PACE TWENTYSEVEN
